Cache La Poudre Fishing Report
Latest Update: 3/18/2026
Current Streamflow : 47 cfs @ Canyon Mouth, 5 cfs @ Fort Collins, 1 cfs @ North Fork below Seaman Reservoir
The warmer, spring-like weather this week has opened up a lot of the ice through the canyon. You will find plenty of fishable water as you go up the canyon.
We've seen some small Blue Wings in the canyon, and dare we say some smaller terrestrial bite. Consider running a dry dropper rig in the afternoons. Temps are coming up in the Poudre so there is a little more diversity in bug life. Stick with smaller midges and blue wings, but do not hesitate to throw on a smaller stone imitation. Emergers continue to keep you in the game out there as well.
Spring is showing it's face around here, and we are starting to send out Guide trips onto the Poudre more frequently. Give us a call to get the low down!
Take a look at our Poudre Assortment, a great selection for this time of year.
